Chart Reading Basics

Instructor: Marsha Krzyzewski

Sunday, November 10, 2019; 3:00-5:00 pm.

Charts are a graphic representation of a knitting pattern. They might look intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it, they can be even easier and faster than written instructions. Marsha will teach how to read charts both working flat and in the round, and cover the basics of color, lace and cable charts. Students will practice knitting a swatch from a simple chart during class.

Experience: students should be comfortable casting on, knitting, and purling.

Materials needed:

DK or worsted weight yarn and needles to work with (anywhere from US 5-8); please come to class with 20 stitches cast on and the first row purled
